Pressure brings motivation. Without any pressure, rotten people like old George would just take money and not work.
Zhou Qingfeng left New York at the end of August. When he left, Michelle caught up with him at the beginning of September and transferred the ownership of a small American company to Holy Light.
That small company researches electro-hydraulic servo valves and has hundreds of patented technologies. Its products are used in the military for aircraft and missile components, and for civilian use in fans, automobiles and medical equipment.
The company is not big. It started in a garage and has been passed down by two generations of father and son. It has less than fifty employees and is simple and capable. It is not easy for it to achieve a high level in the industry in a very small segment.
With the help of Michelle, Holy Light spent US$3 million to buy this small company and allowed it to continue to develop in the United States, but the technology and patents had to be imported into the group.
After taking over this small company, Zhou Qingfeng sent a batch of luxury goods to Michelle, allowing Old George to continue to prosper in Washington and expand his contacts.
With this run-in, both parties have understood each other's strengths and limitations, and subsequent cooperation can be a little easier.
For example, there is currently a huge shortage of steel in the country, and the U.S. steel industry is in serious decline.
Zhou Qingfeng really wants to buy one or two steel plants directly, ship hundreds of thousands or even millions of tons of equipment to China, and relocate and build them.
This method can immediately increase steel production in a short period of time. However, such a large project cannot be completed without a member of Congress to promote it. Therefore, both parties need each other.
But Zhou Qingfeng and Old George are like squeezing out toothpaste - you give me some benefits, and I will give you some benefits. This benefit will not be much at all. It must be stuck at the critical point and must not make the other party feel better. Look
Who can't hold on first?
In August, September, and even October, the two sides were competing for patience, neither being quarrelsome nor overly friendly. It was not until the end of October that the Varyag completed the preliminary power system test, and Zhou Qingfeng received the news from his boss.
Reply from George.
"Congress decided to relax controls on this aircraft carrier and no longer require local chickens to prevent it from leaving the Black Sea."
Michelle has been flying back and forth between the Imperial Capital and Washington in the past few months, acting as a messenger. Her return finally brought some good news to Zhou Qingfeng.
"but......"
"I hate hearing the word 'but'." In the CEO's office of the Imperial Capital Headquarters, Zhou Qingfeng stared at Michelle sitting opposite, "Your father is such an old dog, I want to send him to hell."
The little foreign girl was used to the verbal exchanges between Zhou Qingfeng and her father. She said nonchalantly: "My father also wants to send you to hell. Every time he talks about you, he is so angry that he can't eat."
"What else do you want now?"
"It's not us who are obstructing this time, it's the native chickens who are making demands."
"What?"
"You should receive a reply from the local chickens soon. They will be worried that the aircraft carrier will hit the bridge across the Bosporus and will require you to pay a billion-dollar deposit."
"Are you crazy about money? I only spent tens of millions of dollars to buy this aircraft carrier, and it actually wants to blackmail me for billions?"
"It cannot be said that as long as your aircraft carrier passes through the strait safely, the money will be returned to you. If you are still not satisfied, are you going to Ankara to drop a nuclear bomb?"
After more contact, Michelle also knew that the "nuclear bomb" mentioned by Zhou Qingfeng was entirely used to scare people. This thing really cannot be used easily.
As for the 'Deep Sea Patroller' currently being used for treasure hunting under the sea, it is not convenient to directly relate it to Zhou Qingfeng and the 'Holy Light', lest it shock the world.
There must be a method that can be used and has sufficient deterrence.
"Michelle, I hope to use your words to tell some people who have illusions. If the chickens really want to blackmail me, my response will never be to give them money honestly. I will make them miserable."
"Copy that. You always do things this way." Michelle smiled playfully. She was finally relieved to be able to change the direction of Zhou Qingfeng's spear. "I will tell you this on your behalf and make sure your opponent understands this."
mean."
The little foreign girl came and left happily. When she returned to Washington to see her father, she relayed Zhou Qingfeng's words and asked: "Dad, how do you think the Holy Light will respond?"
Hahaha...Old George laughed endlessly as the trouble spread to the west. He spread his hands in front of the dinner table and said: "I don't know, but I don't care. That bastard is finally going to harm others. I hope he will make things big."
point.
So what if he destroys the damn chicken? Now that the Soviet Union is finished, the Red Navy's Black Sea Fleet no longer exists, and NATO no longer needs anyone to guard the Black Sea. The current chicken is a complete burden to us.
"
Yes, the native chicken is a watchdog for NATO. Now that the enemy has disappeared, the watchdog has no value.
After Michelle left, Zhou Qingfeng immediately asked Marcos to apply to the Tuji Strait Management Department, once again requesting that the channel be opened to allow the 'Varyag' to leave.
Sure enough, the management department of Tuji did not delay this time, and quickly responded and made a request - not only a deposit of one billion US dollars, but also hoped that 'Holy Light' could sign a contract to ensure that it would import a certain amount from Tuji every year in the future.
of goods.
If the import amount cannot be reached, the deposit will be deducted.
This is not only blackmail, but also blocking people's way of making money.
"Let it die!"
What does Tuji have? The food, electromechanical, agricultural products, and industrial chains are highly overlapped with those of Holy Light. There is very little room for cooperation between the two parties, but they are competitors.
After receiving such an answer with a bunch of conditions, Uncle Zhou really felt that he was too kind. He really didn't take care of the local chickens enough last time, but the other party was brave and always wanted to take advantage.
To deal with this kind of "Haqis", Zhou Qingfeng's first thought was to go directly to the Kurds, send them a pile of arms, and start a war.
However, after asking Xiao Jinlang, I found that the Kurds are currently peaceful and have no desire to rebel. Furthermore, sending arms is useless in small quantities and losing money in large quantities. This is not a long-term solution.
We have to think of other ways to make Tuji suffer a big loss. Zhou Qingfeng's second idea is slightly more complicated but much more feasible - dumping goods and destroying Tuji's manufacturing industry.
Tuji's current industrial capabilities are not bad. After all, it is close to the wealthy tycoons in Europe. It is relatively secular, has accepted many low-end industrial transfers from Europe, and its export market is also in Europe.
"I will attack your imports first, and then steal your exports. I will make you have no business to do!" Zhou Qingfeng spread out the map and gritted his teeth while staring at the location of the local chicken.
‘Holy Light’ was losing ground in the Eastern European market and had no choice in the Western European market. It was already very hard for Marcos to just maintain the situation of the Ermao family.
This is entirely because Uncle Zhou has focused mainly on domestic industrial upgrading in the past two years. Now... the president is going to take action!
It just happens to verify the effect of industrial technology upgrades in the past two years.
